10/31/2008. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "Produced in 1960 as a Do 27 A-3 the aircraft was delivered to the German Army coded as 57+25. It became a Do 27 A-5 when the German Army converted it to the civil Do 27 A-4 standard. The wheel track increased from 7 ft 4.6 in (2.25 m) to 9ft 0.3 in (2.72 m), a larger tail wheel was fitted and the MTOW went up from 3,858 lb (1,750 kg) to 4,079 lb (1,850 kg).

As the Do 27 A-5 had no civil type certificate, those aircraft that came on the civil registries, where registered as Do 27 A-4s, the pictured on has been registered as F-BSGL and presently is N88827."
